Johnny was on that downhill slide by this 70th album. Yes, I said 70th. Some liner notes by
Johnny indicate his pessimism about his future. Something about hoping to sell a couple hundred
copies of this. Not sure how mny it sold but it never touched the charts, not even on the
country side. It was the third consecutive Cash album to meet that fate and the last one for
long time label Columbia, as he was dropped after this one. Not a bad album, with two love
tracks, but one cover of CCR's Have You Ever Seen The Rain that doesn't work for me. Must be
the synth. Only two Cash originals, including my favorite of I'm Leaving Now. That was the only
single released from this, and it failed to chart. It appeared 15 years later on Johnny's American
series, but this is the original. The other love track, a cover of Kristofferson's Here Comes That
Rainbow Again. Johnny does it as well as Kris. He would record for Mercury for some years before
Rick Ruben revived his career.

What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 08-01-2013
i'd say theres only a handful of Cash songs over his entire career that i can say i do not like....just heard the CCR cover and that has been added to the list....terrible synths, sounds like his vocals have an echo type effect to them....its all so not like cash!

not as good as "babel" now IMO but still okay as far as modern albums go...

love this one but you guys scared me off Babel when I ordered
I do agree about the sameness
that's the thing, when a band comes out and has a distinctive sound, it tends to wear thin

Not even sure I have any Robbins studio albums, so this is good recap even though with 52
albums it has to be lacking a lot. Surprised it's missing A White Sport Coat. That and the lack
of any liner notes is the only complaint. No bio, no song information, not even writing
credits, pretty shabby for a major label (Columbia). But it is all about the music, right?
Marty started out in the mid 50's and continued recording up to his death from a heart attack
in 1982 at the age of 57. He holds the distinction of being the last artist to perform at the
legendary Ryman auditorium and the first to perform at the new home of the Grand Ole Opry.
Inducted into the Country Music Hall Of Fame two months prior to his death. At least he was
alive to receive that honor.

great artist IMO, love the guy!
isnt it strange how some so-called best of sets do not contain 'singature tunes'...White Sports Coat being one of his...
i have a Jim Reeves to post,40 tracks and no "i love you because"...go figure!

For hard core country music historians only probably. That's me. It's the yodeling that would
turn most off. On almost every track. I'm not a big fan of it either, but I can overhear it.
Jimmie is considered the father of country music by most. Taking the blues heard in his
Mississippi upbringing to another level. We're talking 1920's here people. Slightly before my
time. Brilliant in the fact it even exists in recorded form. Surprisingly good sound quality.
I'm sure it's been cleaned up considerably. Originals had to be pretty rough. These tracks were
done from 1927 to 1931. Jimmie passed away in 1933 at the young age of 35 from TB. When the
Country Music Hall Of Fame was established in 1961 Jimmie Rodgers was among the first three
inductees, along with Fred Rose and Hank Williams. His legendary status was is well deserved.

In The Jailhouse Now is a superb track IMO also,

JIM REEVES "the essential" cd,2003.
My dad's favourite from that period, im guessing Jim is one of Music Heads faves from that period also....
well, i grew up listening to Gentleman Jim Reeves as much as i listened to Elvis,Beatles,Small Faces and the Animals...and its no surprise that those early nfluences have stayed with me ever since...
Jim died in a plane crash in 1964(aged 42), he was the pilot,from memory he flew into a thunderstorm as there was apparently no way around it, his death by no means made him famous like it did with Buddy Holly,Big Bopper,Richie Valens,Eddie Cochran etc etc...Jim had been having major chart success since around 1953, so he was probably at the peak of his career...
this one is a double cd set featuring forty tracks, the surprise ommision here is one of my favourite tracks of his "i love you because"...not sure why its not included but with such an extensive back catalogue i guess something had to miss out.
only two on here im not keen on, and over half of them i love...just love him best when he croons his way through songs.
im not going to list all the tracks but they were all hits on the country charts with many of them crossing over for mainstream success also..
the album gest a rating of 2.5 from me with 21 loves,17 likes and only 2 dislikes.
the dislikes are "penny candy" and "adios amigo"...
of the love tracks here are five of my favourites in link form...

also, for Music Head...
Elvis did a very good version of "he'll have to go" history says it was the last studio track he recorded prior to his death, but obviously Jim's is the definitive version
